The Last Goodbye Lyrics

Cover art for The Last Goodbye lyrics by James Morrison

Yeah - I think this is about a guy who has been (emotionally) abused in a relationship many times. And the final straw is her cheating on him.

I think he figures she's just used him for her convenience and now she's done this to him...

"And I've grown tired of being used"

Now he's finally realised what's happening (and he figures she never did love him) and he is (obviously) leaving for good:

"It's like I hardly know you But maybe I never did It's like every emotion you showed me, you kept well hid And every true word that you ever spoke, was really deceiving Now I'm leaving this time Cause this is my last goodbye"

Interestingly I've just commented on "Red" by Daniel Merriweather and I'm thinking the two songs, however different, may be similar in meaning!? What do you guys reckon?
